[You acted swiftly, severely torturing both sides' superiors.]

[They were tied up in a small, secret room and almost completely destroyed. Their final state after death, along with a line of text left on the walls of the room.]

[The next step is to inform Xiao Yelin that everything is fine outside.]

The problem is... you can't contact him right now.

[He resides in a secluded little space within the Immortal Ancient Realm, and your only two channels of contact with him are through a friendly ally in online PvE and PvP.]

"I didn't tell him the method, so it's all up to his own choice..."

["For the next level, I'll keep choosing to play online, hoping to run into him..."]

In 5784, you pass another test and, through precognition, learn of the outside world, discovering that Xiao Yelin has already become an immortal.

He ultimately didn't wait any longer, nor did he choose to start a new challenge.

[After that, we didn't encounter each other again in the subsequent levels. Instead, I leveled up alone, broke through, and left the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.]

[Because the longer he waits, the greater the pressure Nangong Meng will face from her family.]

The Nangong Divine Clan believes Xiao Yelin has died in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm. After all, too many people have died there, the vast majority due to overestimating their abilities. Only less than one in ten thousand will return after surviving.

[A few will only be automatically displayed after a thousand years, when the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm disappears.]

Xiao Yelin couldn't trust anyone outside to help him, so he had no choice but to leave the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm on his own.

After confirming Nangong Meng's safety, he ascended to immortality without hesitation.

[Because he truly didn't want to be harassed any longer, he used his True Immortal Dao power to erase the bloodline detection method of the Nangong Divine Clan.]

【you:"……"】

"Fortunately, there are still two people left..."

[Year 5860.]

[When you cultivated your 100th incarnation to the fifth realm, an immense repulsive force appeared, and you were immediately ejected from the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.]

You were stunned for a moment, until the world spun around you and all was empty, before you remembered what had happened.

"Damn it, the time limit has been reached!"

"What about the 3 months of 20x speed you still owe me!?"

[You're furious! This Immortal Ancient Secret Realm is truly unfair! All the rewards you worked so hard to win were just swallowed up by them!]

"I just bought a monthly pass, and this game is already shutting down."

"Now I'm stuck halfway through, and it'll probably take me thirty or forty years to advance to the sixth realm, the 100th level."

You shook your head, then looked around.

[You're not the only one kicked out of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm; looking around, there are at least tens of millions of people.]

Many of them, after barely passing one or two trials, became despairing of the difficulty and gave up. Instead, they relied on the remaining resources in their spatial rings (or the rewards they had received earlier) to cultivate in seclusion within their independent Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, intending to endure until it closed.

Well...it's better that they persevered than that they died.

Besides these tens of millions of people, even more are gathered on the outer perimeter.

[This includes family members of those taking the assessment, those preparing to recruit prodigies, and those trying to curry favor with the prodigies.]

Too many people have ascended to the heavens in one step through the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

[The Immortal Ancient Secret Realm has never had any entry restrictions; ordinary people can also enter.]

[As long as he has enough perseverance and wisdom to overcome one trial after another, he can rise to the top in one step, completing in a mere thousand years what others take 100,000 years to achieve!]

That means a completely different destiny, a stock with enormous potential!

Your gaze shifts, and you spot a group of familiar faces in a certain direction.

[From Xu Ling'er to Xu Yan to Gong Ying and others.]

[A group of people from the Azure Domain, led by Chu Heshang, along with other acquaintances from the Yuan Tian Domain.]

[And Xiao Yelin, he also timed his arrival perfectly and was waiting for you outside, and he thanked you for your help earlier.]

[At the same time, Bei Chenguang and Zhang Fan were also kicked out of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.]

The former has 114 heavens, the latter has 99 heavens.

[The two of them cultivated more systems in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm than you, because in order to maximize the evolution of your "Future" and "Essence" abilities, the systems you chose for the last 40+ Heavens were all of quality 6 or higher, and most of them were 8 or even 9 points.]

With unlimited access to targeted resources, cultivating this advanced system is indeed more cost-effective.

[Bei Chenguang and his companion can't afford your high-level setup. Some of their Dao Seals are only at the one or two level. Even outside the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, you only need a little over ten years to cultivate from scratch to condensing a Dao Seal.]

In 5861, a group of newly powerful individuals emerged from the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, and the Yuantian Realm once again became lively.

Although your life may seem a bit lazy, your fame is gradually spreading far and wide.

[Because many newly promoted True Immortals have connections with you, and your performance in the joint mechanism of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm shocked too many people.]

That Buddhist monk also bows to you, thanking you for completely changing the fate of their entire clan.

You are hailed as the foremost immortal being below the mortal realm in the Yuantian Realm.

[Some ancient immortals have approached you, praising you highly and believing that you are accumulating great potential before unleashing it. They hope that after you become a true immortal, you can lead the entire Yuantian Realm to escape the calamity's force field.]

Over the years, they've made a hunch: since the Yuantian Realm possesses consciousness and can assist them in entering a state of enlightenment, it's not impossible that they could cultivate some prodigies, or even use their accumulated resources to create a peerless genius.

[You've been dominating the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm; there's definitely a world consciousness secretly strengthening you.]

[In 5900, you relaxed and ascended to the Hundredth Heaven.]

[The subsequent reconstructions all used low-quality systems with a Dao Seal quality of 1, aiming to increase the time required for future prediction.]

Meanwhile, you were also out having fun, indulging in romance and playful antics.

[Hundreds of people, thousands of people, tens of thousands of people.]

Sometimes it's not just people.

For the next few centuries, you were utterly absurd.

Every day feels like savoring the last days of my life.

Like a traveler just escaped from the desert, they are incredibly greedy and cherish the water resources before them, even if it's just sewage on the ground.

Their eyes were fixed on the person wasting water, as if they were about to say, "You'll definitely get what's coming to you!"

Because they are always afraid, afraid that one day they will face that predicament again.

Every day, I'm daydreaming and frantically posting.
